sounds like valve stem seals to me. not a huge issue just a little embarassing at times. fairly easy to fix as well
92 NH Pajero, MQ Patrol 50mm lift. One has custom rust, dents & rattles, the other has a blown engine.

it's a common problem with the 3.0 v6 your looking at about $650 to get it fixed at a dealer.
